Jim Lee's artwork is just classic superhero. Outside of Neal Adams, no one does an iconic pinup like Mr. Lee.

[weaslepopper]

X-Men #11 should definitely be on this list. I'd also say WildC.A.T.S. #2 is a better and more important cover than #1, because it's the first prism cover of any comic ever.

That second printing of Batman #608 should absolutely be on this list, even before #609, imo.

[glennkenneth]

That 1st Jim Lee on X-Men is so gorgeous & I love purple covers!! 💜😍

[ohcomix]

hey brother, nice video! and a very cool homage to a living legend and a solid industry leader in Comic Books. My comic book die hard serious collector started with Jim Lee. I was obsessed with the gatefold cover of X-Men 1. Actually I must confess I bought myself three comics back then, one to read over and over again, one to keep it intact (decades later signed by him and my first time meeting him and shaking his hand), and the third copy I detached the cover and used it as a vertical poster cuz I love so much staring at all the X gang posing in the coolest way ever!
Now, the cover I feel you might would like to consider to show here is Batman 50 with Jim Lee art showing the cape crusader staying up close to Catwoman's face in the middle of the rain. Oh man! that has to be one of the most romantic covers of all times.

[average_geeky_guy]

So many amazing covers! I sent in my Wolverine 27 to CGC for the Jim Lee signing and am super excited about it 😄

[fightthegoodfight]

Great stuff bro! Jim Lee does some amazing artwork! I purchased his X-Men Artist’s Edition oversized book a while back. I have that Thundercats and the whole X-men 1 set as well! One set of comics that I have been slowly collecting is the 29 Trading Card Variant Covers that feature art by Jim Lee. I think I have about half of them so far. 😀

I just learned a lot about Jim Lee, thanks for the history lesson. I've been missing a lot of your videos, but it's because I have a new job and I had to attend a lot lectures, so when I got home, I just needed quietness, I getting old, what can I say. I finished the 5 week orientation today, so things will be back to normal a little bit.

[batdadwholaughs]

Jim Lee and the BatCowl is what sparked my return to comics. Man is legend... and I'm very h looking forward to hopefully meeting him at NYCC. Hush is outstanding.

[bruh_hahaha]

Great stuff Reggie! For me ALL of Jim Lee’s ‘Uncanny X-Men’ run should be a must have. He was at the top of his game during that run. My goal is to get them all in newsstands CGC 9.8. I’m only 3 books away from my goal. 🏆🔥🥳

[stevewhite]

My favorite Jim Lee covers are Transformers #53, Punisher War Journal #6 & 7. Nice collection of books Regie.

[marvelvsdc]

Hey Regie! Giving props to legendary artist Jim Lee…love it! I have always been in awe of covers: Wolverine 27, Superman 204 and Batman 608 (second print). 🔥🤘🏼👍🏼✌🏼

[benc]

Some really cool covers there, absolutely love Jim Lee's work, I would add Deathblow #1, His Variant of Batman #50 and the amazing Punisher War Journal #19 which has the Punisher riding a jet-ski

[joecander]

Jim Lee's Wolverine is the best in my opinion, Wolverine 27, Xmen 11, xmen 274, Batman 608 variant goes with superman 204 cover... I could go on, there are tons of awesome Lee covers, Some really good superman covers as well

[spideysweb]

Great covers Regie!! Two of my favorite covers are Punisher: War Journal 14 and 15 because it has a character he rarely draws, Spider-man. His War Journal covers are epic

[JustaLittlePodcast]

Great picks so happy you put wildcats in the mix haha. That Magneto cover is a classic. Always loved that book and story. Great video as always my friend

[mikehaggs]

Very nice my man ! What 80’s kid doesn’t love thundercats ! The uncanny with black widow and cap on the cover is dope I have that one slabbed, it didn’t come back high grade but for nostalgic purposes I sent it out . There’s a really cool X factor cover he did as well, issue 62 !

[ricardelias]

Great list, thanks for showing all of them.

[jthomascruz]

Hey Regie, those are some great Jim Lee books that you highlighted I actually didn't know about a few of them. I am very interested in that Batman #609 as I have always wanted to read the Hush story line. Another couple of great Jim Lee covers that I really love are Punisher War Journal's 6 & 7 with the first meeting between The Punisher and Wolverine.

[cuervo]

Batman 608 2nd print is a must!! surprised that one didn’t get mentioned

[Johnthecomicguy]

While I have been collecting comics (on and off) since the Mid 70’s, the most impactful time I got really hot and heavy into artists were the early 90s and the start of Image. Jim, Todd, Marc and Rob in particular, were the Image founders who’s were really doing stuff that just blew my mind. Their art still amazes me. Then I started looking back into their careers at Marvel and started buying books they did prior to their Marvel Exodus (Both Marvel and DC books) and when I see new stuff from them, snatch them up as well.). I love Jim Lees Hush work. I saw your Hush video last night and had to quickly double check this morning to make sure I still had Jim’s entire Hush story arc. Gladly…I found them all safely protected in Mylar. By the way…I’m curious on your thoughts on Rob Liefeld. I don’t really get caught up in the personal drama…and see so much hate posted on Facebook…but…since he and I don’t have a personal relationship, and likely never will…I can’t really speak to him as a person. I love his drawing. I see where people slam his feet (or lack of) and his puffy chests etc, but…we are talking comic books aren’t we? I’m not sure anatomy accuracy is really that important in the “funny books” and when I see his art, I often do have to say, “Wow! This shit is dynamic and eye catching”…. I particularly love the work he did after he took a short hiatus to “take his art to the next level” during the Youngblood days. Anyway, I digress…and this video is about Jim Lee…so in closing…Hail to Jim Lee! Jim’s books will always have a prominent place in my personal collection!
